Located within the prestigious 111 West 57th Street tower, the space showcases Chraibi’s ability to create exclusive, custom-made designs tailored to both the project and the client through her new concept, Only Once. "Designing for a client is like dressing a supermodel for a once-in-a-lifetime runway show," says Chraibi. "It’s a challenge to keep things original, but it makes every project a true masterpiece."
The concept has already been very successful, drawing clients such as actor Ed Westwick, for whom Chraibi will be designing a nursery.
Attention to detail is front and center in the show residence, which delicately balances opulence with simple forms for an elegant, clean finish. Beautiful materials abound throughout the space, such as Calacatta gold marble, brass accented bespoke millwork and handmade furniture upholstered with Dedar fabrics.
The space is grounded with gorgeous, exclusive art, such as the Robert Markell watercolor in the primary bedroom and selections by Galleria Ca d'Or, including works by Lorenzo Perrone, Melissa Herrington, Giorgio Tentolini and Jorge Wellesley, in the other rooms. The result? A refined, tasteful space that reflects Chraibi’s ability to authentically capture a moment in time in design.
